Chapter 709: Smooth talk, muddle through

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't the Emperor already know that Wei Chen had met with Chu Yin? He told Wei Chen all this!"

Xiang Chong told him these things, but Lin Yun directly put the blame on Chu Yin's head.

He did this without any good intentions. His purpose was to sow the already tense relationship between the court and King Chu Jiang.

Lin Yun had failed in provoking Wu Tuowa at the Panda Royal Court, and originally planned to instigate King Chu Jiang to send troops against the Panda Royal Court.

But Lin Yun no longer had time to waste there, otherwise the family fortune he had managed to build in the capital would be lost.

Therefore, he could only provoke conflicts between the imperial court and King Chu Jiang.

As long as both of them take action, Lin Yun can land safely, profit from it, and temporarily suppress the emperor's dissatisfaction with him.

"boom!"

The emperor was furious, slapped his face on the table, and said with sharp eyes: "Chu Xiangyu...you are looking for death!"

Lin Yun immediately stood up and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Now he really wanted to find a place where no one was around and pinch his waist and laugh three times.

If it were in the past, based on Li Jing's scheming, Lin Yun's attempt to deceive him would undoubtedly be a fool's errand.

But this time Lin Yun seized on his pain point and magnified it infinitely, completely fooling the already suspicious emperor.

The emperor realized that he had lost his temper and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yun, I admit that I have been suspicious this time! Even if the explosion in the palace has nothing to do with you, what happened to Sun Xing? You know that he is Fengyang, whom I personally appointed. Commander-in-Chief, why do you want to kill him?"

Lin Yun had already thought about his words, clasped his fists and said, "The emperor told me when he gave me the golden sword before, that I should kill the traitor first and then report it! By killing this Sun Xing, I will share the emperor's worries!"

"That's nonsense! Lin Yun, if you can't make sense, I'll chop off your head tonight!"

The emperor was so angry that he couldn't tell the difference between a traitorous minister and a loyal minister?

This Lin Yun was as slippery as a loach in a mud puddle, filling him with rage but nowhere to vent it.

Lin Yunhan smiled and said: "This is absolutely true! Does your Majesty know who is Sun Xing's eldest brother?"

The emperor frowned and said: "His eldest brother? Lin Yun, don't talk nonsense! Don't think that just because Sun Xing is dead, you can make random arrangements!"

"Sun Xinglin said it himself before he died. His eldest brother's real name was Sun Hai. He was once a doctor in the palace, and later became the Queen Mother's favorite. He was named Sun Dehai and is still serving the Queen Mother! The emperor may not believe the ministers, but this matter is absolutely true. It is absolutely true that Wei Chen has secretly investigated during this period and found out that this Sun Dehai is the confidant of the Queen Mother and had secretly communicated with the Fifth Prince and the King of Chu Jiang..."

Although Lin Yun was traveling around, he was not idle. Sun Xing moved out of Sun Dehai before his death. It was impossible for him not to investigate clearly.

He passed through more than a dozen cities along the way and found out some information about Sun Dehai after a little inquiry.

In the past, Sun Dehai was anonymous and no one could trace his name, but it is different now.

At this time, Lin Yun took out a hand-drawn map from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this map was drawn based on the existing intelligence after Wei Chen visited more than a dozen Baicao Halls along the way. It is exactly related to the Chu River. The road map for the county’s trade! Please take a look at it!”

The emperor looked serious and said: "Pass it over!"

Lin Yun then stood up and presented the map with both hands.

The emperor took a rough look at the map in the dim light.

He sighed, stood up, helped Lin Yun up, and said, "Lin Qing's family, it seems that I wrongly blamed you!"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to say that! Weichen can feel how difficult it is for the Emperor! Originally, Weichen was not qualified to participate in harem affairs, but this time it was different. The Queen Mother was obviously colluding with King Chu Jiang and wanted to deal with him. The emperor has evil intentions, so... I have to investigate secretly! I hope the emperor is not surprised!"

Having said this, the emperor's anger with him subsided. Although he still felt something was wrong in his heart, he would not only face the external troubles of Chujiang County, but also deal with the internal troubles of the harem. It is indeed inseparable from Lin Yun's help.

Therefore, even if he still had doubts in his heart, he could only suppress the matter for the time being.

The emperor nodded: "That's all, Lin Qing's family is also worried about me. I don't blame you! Just sit down!"

Lin Yun then sat on a chair aside.

The emperor looked at him meaningfully and said: "Lin Qing's family, let me tell you the truth! Although you have done a lot of things for me secretly this time, if you want to gain my trust, you still need to do one more thing. thing…"

Lin Yun knew what he was going to say, so he shook his head slowly and said, "Wei Chen knows that the emperor wants me to hand over Niubei Village..."

"Then are you willing? If you agree, I can't give you anything except the throne, and I will satisfy you no matter what else!"

After experiencing this incident, the emperor fully realized the importance of Niubei Village.

Now even his close friend King Chu Jiang is beginning to miss Niubei Village. As the emperor, he has no reason to let go.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen can promise you anything, but only Niubei Village cannot be handed over! This is Wei Chen's amulet. Once handed over, Wei Chen will lose his ability to live and work!"

"Then what if I have to let you do it?"

Lin Yun's eyes gradually became cold and he said: "If the Emperor does not do this, then I will have no choice but to say sorry to the Emperor!"

The emperor was not angry this time, but stared at him with a sinister look.

The emperor knew that everything he said before could be discussed, but Niubei Village touched Lin Yun's fundamentals, so he did not dare to push too hard.

"Lin Qing's family, you are a smart man. You should know that Wangyue Villa has been set up by me a long time ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yun jumped in and said, "Wei Chen knows! But to be blunt, these imperial guards arranged by the emperor are all local chickens and dogs in Wei Chen's eyes! If the emperor really wants By doing this, Wei Chen cannot guarantee whether he will be able to see the sun tomorrow, but... the emperor will definitely not be able to see it! "

"You...are so confident?"

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously. He knew that he had reached a critical moment and he must not show his cowardice.

"If the emperor is willing to be killed, then the humble minister can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman! The emperor can give it a try..."

Looking into Lin Yun's unfathomable eyes, the emperor finally did not dare to take such a dangerous step.

At the same time, he also understood that the tiger he had raised was now really capable of eating people, and was beginning to bite him back.

He was both disgusted and helpless.

Lin Yun was always observing the emperor's reaction. If he had murderous intentions, he would strike first.

He had already thought about it while on the road.

This Hongmen Banquet was a disaster for Lin Yun, but it was also an opportunity.

If they really took action, he and the emperor would each have a 50% chance of winning.

But he could bear it, but the emperor could not.

After all, the life of the Emperor of Daduan Dynasty was much more valuable than Lin Yungui.

Without complete assurance, he would not be able to take action easily.
